Let’s go behind the scenes again this week. Sherry Ricardo has what I believe is one of the toughest jobs in the writing business. Editor. As a writer I can’t live without one, I hope to get a good one and that anytime I have to work with one I’ll learn something new. Sherry is more than an editor for Freya’s Bower/Wild Child Publishing, she also happens to be a friend. One who isn’t afraid to give the hard advice that so often we don’t want to hear but NEED to. Her job is one I wouldn’t want but I do admire her skill and patience. We all want an editor who will go the extra mile to help make our story better but we really want is one that helps make us better writers. Here’s a couple of her authors books.

The Macgregor’s Daughter by Dee Julian

In 1776 England, American born Anadreya Macgregor is branded a spy by the arrogant Marquis of Canderlay. Despite her pleas of innocence, he refuses to listen and has her imprisoned. Aided by the Scottish father she never knew, Dreya escapes to Dragon’s Breath Castle.

Five years later, the laird is missing and a badly injured Frenchman washes ashore. Dreya is wary of the blind and amnesic man, though something about him is hauntingly familiar. Is he an ally or a ruthless mercenary who stumbled upon her father’s smuggling activities?

The stranger’s vision and memory gradually return and Dreya discovers her fate and the continued existence of her clan might very well be in his hands. As the web of deception binding them together unravels, both are in danger of losing everything. Including their hearts.

    Hi Sherry,

    Congratulations on being in the hot seat this week. Oh, that’s spotlight…sorry! Anyway, IMHO, the backbone of any good book is the editor. And a good one makes reading more fun!

    Congrats on being in the spotlight Sherry! Can’t say enough about the importance of a great editor — and the horrors of a bad one ;-) . We are lucky to have you to keep us well on the right side of the line!

    Enjoy,
    ~bella
